Ais Setup Settings For Data & Wifi?

15 posts in this topic

Looking in the past I found a couple different posts on what settings are needed to get AiS Edge, 3G, and WiFi. Searching for them now I can not find them. Could any direct me to where those posts might be. I plan on getting the 550 THB that gives a couple GB of 3G/Edge data and unlimited WiFi.

Not sure about the WiFi? Once you subscribe to the package you should get an SMS which would contain the required username and password for available WiFi AP's. The username may well be your telephone number.

Saw 99thb monthly auto renew. If we are on this, do we still need to top up for sim's validity ? or as long as we pay 99thb, the number is valid forever

Good Question--I hope someone has got the answer--this could be handy for my spare Sim, if it is not time limited. AIS 'used' to have a Sim called 'Sawadee Naan Naan' or similar, some years back, which would literally stay functional regardless of topping up--my daughter still has one and rarely uses it, but it always works when she puts it in a phone--anyone know if they still issue a similar Sim??

which gives 60 days validity for top-ups as low as 10 baht, so I guess you could max it out at 365 days for 60 baht (six separate top-ups on top of the initial 30 days)? Not sure what the call rate is exactly as the website is conflicted.

Thanks for that--I will check it out--and I think that you are correct with the other plan--exceed the limit and pay through the nose!

Reason that my daughter needs a long-life Sim is that, on occasions, she spends long periods out of Thailand and needs to resume her calling on her return; I have a contract so no such problems, but setting up a contract Sim for a teenager could be expensive!

How long are the long periods she spends outside of Thailand? Can she leave a SIM with you so that you can keep it "alive"? I assume she wants to keep the same number? Are there any other requirements? Mobile data, low per minute calling rates, specific provider?

Most mobile data plans which do not offer "unlimited internet usage" do charge per minute, on time-based plans once you exceed your monthly threshold, or by the KB/MB on a volume plan.

Additionally, most providers do have usage requirements - the SIM must be used (call, SMS, maybe even a service request) once every 90 days. This rule may not be currently enforced but there is a pending shortage of numbers, and a need to recycle unused numbers.
